Ive made this card for Lana's Birthday, and as its my first attempt at heat embossing on a card ive decided to submit it to Daring Cardmakers, as this week's challenge is Embossing. For this card i used alcohol inks on glossy cardstock to create the background. I stamped the image on white card using versamark, I then applied black embossing powder and heat set. I cut the image out and coloured with Perfect Pearls which i had mixed with water. I then stamped the image again on the purple alcohol inked background using black Brilliance ink to which I applied clear embossing powder and heat set. I overlayed the image and attached with adhesive. This is my first submission to Daring Cardmakers.Friday, 15 June 2007

Im very into alcohol inks right now as I wanted them for over a year & was too intimidated by them to purchase in case I stuffed up!
